Well this is officially the END of my pregnancy as I gave birth to the most precious gift in the world at 7.50pm last night, little Ava Jane. This is how it all went…. 2.30am I woke up with what I thought was food poisoning type of tummy ache so I went to the loo. 5 trips and number s’s later and I was convinced it was…

Morning ladies, Well I've been up since 2.30am with cramps every 10-30 mins so nothing regular happening as yet. Hubby up with me as he's ultra excited, I'm trying to keep him and myself calm at the same time! Have a great Sunday xox

39 weeks and +33 lbs :)

Hi Helen, I hope you enjoyed your massage :) I'm feeling good thanks. Spending lots of QT with my daughter before this little one arrives! Hubby isn't happy for me to stray too far from home so it's been lots of picnics in the park etc so far this week. Sat here scratching my head wondering what to do with her today! She's…

very exciting! Thanks for your reply - nothing since so I'm thinking it was most probably the mucus plug. 39 weeks today :) No other symptoms so going to make the most of this sunshine (finally no rain in the UK) and take my 13yr old daughter out lots this week... until little one decides to make an appearance xox

Morning ladies, I hope this isn't TMI - I've just woken up with a LOT of discharge this morning. So much so I've changed my knickers and put a pad on. It was the same colour, texture etc as discharge (no bloody show or tinge of colour) - any advice? Are things going to start happening today? I'm 39 weeks tomorrow YIKES! xox

Hi ladies, Just back from my 38wk midwife appt and all is well. LIttle Ava is still 1/5th engaged and everything else was fine. Nothing more to report from this side of the Atlantic! Take care, Sarah xox

Morning ladies, Just a quick question - for the last week my itchy scalp has been ruling my life! I've not changed my shampoo or done anything different yet my scalp is unbelievable itchy 24/7 even waking me up in the night! Is it normal / hormonal? I'm 38 weeks tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated xx

Getting really nervous now reading all your birth stories :) well done ladies, really, well done. Helen are you having an Epidural? It's definitely more common in the States don't you think? I'm aiming for the whole natural affair but I'm not ruling anything out!! Well ladies, I knew I said I wasn't going to but I stepped…

So many birth stories in the last week, I love it! Congrats to all you wonderful ladies :) Not much to report from this side of the pond - we may get to see a glimpse of some sunshine today so I'm going to try and get a walk in if my bladder allows me to be away from a toilet for more than 10 minutes! Woke up with a sore…

WOW congrats Jalyn xoxox

CONGRATS Kelly, you were amazing! xox

Hi ladies, Thought I'd check in with you all and say a very happy July 4th to you :) obviously we don't celebrate it across the pond but we do in our house (hubby is from Boston, MA) so in between the rain today we'll be having a bbq. Such awful weather here lately... we haven't had a summer yet and it's really depressing!…

hi ladies, Sorry I've not been very talkative lately - I have been reading all of your posts, keeping up with you all. Hubby still not having any luck with a new job and it's driving us both crazy now so I thought I'd keep my negative comments to myself - no point in depressing you all too!! Everything is ok with little…

Congrats Amanda! :))))

Hey Helen, Hubby wasn't successful at the interview but has another one lined up for Monday. Keeping everything crossed for him. Thanks for asking. Love your latest profile pic :) xxx

Hi Emily, Glad your mini shower went well and best of luck getting baby turned :) The scan went really well, I'll try and post a pic on here of the best shot - she definitely has her Fathers nose! Yeah the redundancy was VERY out of the blue, we're still in shock really but he's got an interview today so fingers crossed!…

Morning ladies A bit of turbulence here lately - hubby was made redundant on Friday so the move to be nearer his work was all for nothing. Keeping everything crossed he finds something SOON but it's not a very good time to be finding a job these days! Needless to say Friday was extremely fraught and full of emotions then…

Hi ladies, I can't apologise enough for being so out of touch over the last week or so. Thanks for all the well wishes on my move - it all went well and we're just about settled in to the new place - hubby even got the nursery furniture made up on Saturday and that was the last room. I have been trying to catch up with you…

You look amazing! Such a neat little bump :) I don't know where everyone is, it's soooooo quiet on here these days! Maybe they're all off giving birth ;) It's my last day at work today -hubby wanted me to finish today instead of next Friday as the house move has been brought forwards so I'm just going with the flow! Have a…

Hey Melissa, Sorry to hear about your relationship problems. I feel for you I really do. DH and I had an explosive one yesterday and stood literally YELLING at each other for the best part of an hour. It was just awful. I am fearful little one will feel my mood and be stunned / shocked by it all as she's not been moving a…

Hey myice, I'm with you on the eating thing! I lay there wide awake at night through the sheer volume of food I've over indulged on yet get up and do it all again the next day! I finish work a week on Friday and I know it's gonna be tough keeping up my walking, especially after moving to a new area and not knowing any…

Hi Helen, I love your new piccy, your bump is so neat and tidy! You look great :) I hope you had a great time in Paris xxx

Wow ladies, so much to catch up on - it's lovely to see more posts on here. Thanks for the link brunettewife :) 10 days left at work for me! YIPPEEEEEEEEE! We managed to get the majority of the house moved over the weekend - well, hubby did and I just hung about looking and feeling useless but I managed to sneak a few…

Congrats, he's gorgeous!

Hey ladies, Sorry for being quiet this week, I've been off work and resting. I just seem to be totally wiped out! I'm putting it down to being 37yrs OLD now and carrying a baby! Anyway I listened to my body and stayed home. Back to work today and I walked to work but had really bad 'stitch' like pains in my lower abdomen…

Hi ladies, It's good to hear you're all doing well - I'm still playing catch up on this board but I'm getting there. Thank you for all my birthday wishes - it was a bit of a washout really as I was totally exhausted all day so we just chilled out. I wasn't allowed to lift a finger which is always a bonus! Had my 28wk appt…

Hey Emily, I resisted the urge to go and get a great big packet of biscuits last night to sit and dunk in my cup of tea - I think that was my first real craving but I denied myself and went to bed in strop! haha! I love your 'ice lollies for the Brit' - you're too funny :) What choccies is she bringing you back? My hubby's…

Hi ladies, Are you all ready for the weekend? Here in the UK it's a Bank Holiday weekend so we all have Monday off work - 'May Day' which is a complete treat as it's my birthday on Sunday (37!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!) so it'll be lovely to have the extra day although the weather over here isn't playing nicely yet so we'll…

Hi ladies, I'm moving over from the 2nd tri board and hope to catch up with you all soon although it may take some time! I'm 27weeks and 4 days and +20lbs Due 30/7/12 xox
